Hello, the dish that absorbs fat and calories of food

Summer arrives and gyms multiply its users. The hard ‘bikini operation’ of each year ensures that many subscribe to YouTube videos for exercising or playing recipes for healthy cooking. But what if it was the dish on which we eat the one who reduced the calories we are going to take?

This idea that looks like science fiction is the invention of a group of researchers from the Technical Engineering Technical School of the University of Basque Country. The dishes hello have one surface with more than a thousand holes who separate and absorb the fats from food. According to his makers, the mechanism of these dishes makes it possible to filter lipids (fat and oil) and keep the restaurant up to 30% of the calories of a meal.

This presupposes in a normal meal Stop taking 100 to 200 calories. “In a week it is the same as not eating two Big Mac,” they say. Under the motto ‘Do not change your food, change your dish’, Basque engineers explain that they do not want someone to give up their eating habits, but “they can enjoy food that accompanies them in their health care.”

The disorder is absorption mechanism Inspired by sea spongesThose pores and channels have food and oxygen filtering. The difference is that the dishes hello what they filter, fat and oil. «Two years of evidence and errors and prototyped are needed to patent a design with holes that could retain calories. More than once they have called us crazy because they think it was possible, but in the end we have it, ”says the Hel to Innova+team.

In just five months of life They have sold more than 800 units By your Webpage And in some pharmacies. They are currently working on home shops, households and even restaurants.

The three models, inspired by Japanese anagrams, are “small works of art and symbology” that hide high mathematical principles. «Ultimately, a dish is the frame in which the artist, the chef, found his works; And we believe that Hello has a double added value: the functional and aesthetics, “they explain.

Despite the complexity of the system, cleaning does not imply extra difficulty, because it is the case Suitable for dishwasher And you can also scrub by hand as it would be done with another dish.
